Design Gives Back provides rooms for hope, health and happiness for those in-need. Since 1992 we have facilitated life-changing workshops, community programs and inspirational makeovers.

Today, our MiracleMakeovertm projects help deserving individuals and families, as well as, the non-profit groups that sponsor them. Through inspiring video episodes and print stories you can see healing rooms for those who are sick, arttherapyworkshopsforkids-at-riskand hope-filled homes for struggling families.

These MiracleMakeovertm television, internet, and print vehicles become ambassador and outreach for cause-organizations by helping to create awareness and funding. Our partners have included Habitat for Humanity International, Catholic Charities, The Starlight Foundation, Friends of Kids with Cancer, and many others.

Before: The focus of Colette's bedroom was this hospital bed.

Design Changes Things: When a room is falling apart it seems that things are hopeless. For Colette Gauthier, a cancer patient, this was especially true. So, in two and a half days, and on a tiny budget, we set out to change things. Transforming her rental house bedroom from bleak to beautiful helped her through chemotherapy. The restored and renewed space filled her with hope. A visual reminder that healing is possible for our homes ... and lives.

This Miracle Makeover was first published and aired by Guideposts Magazine to over 8 million readers and 30,000 views on the site and Vimeo. Since Guideposts' is now rebuilding we have just uploaded to YouTube for Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2015.
